Tikka Varmint in .223 Rem, 75 gr ELD-M over Benchmark, 2900 fps MV, Mulie buck kilt at 475 yards. Hit a tad high on the left side, broadside Wrecked a vertebrae going in, big hole on the way out Exit just behind the shoulder blade cartilage. Surprisingly little bloodshot. Lungs a bit...

Nothing you shoot will know the difference between plus or minus 100 fps anyway. P

Why did Nosler drop Hunter powder data for 180 grain bullets? It’s the bee’s knees. P

And I load for the family (four shooters, multiple rifles) so I go through a lot of components. It’s tough sometimes.

My loads, for each bullet weight listed, based on Nosler’s book max, are all !DANGEROUS LOAD - DO NOT USE! R-P brass, WLRM primer, if it makes any difference. That’s funny.

Big Game is Varget plus 100 fps.

Why no Big Game? That’s my powder of choice for 120-150 grains. Varget is a close second, no Varget either?

Hornady Available and affordable. Heck, I drive by the factory every other week. Nosler bullets were all I shot for years. Can’t load ‘em if you can’t find ‘em. P

Convex meniscus. No wonder DrMike gets all the chicks, with all those fancy words. P

Doesn’t bounce off, either.

Nice shooting. I love me some 162 ELDX Plain old stainless T3. Limbsaver pad, otherwise stock. P

I’ve killed two deer over 500 yards with 140 gr Partitions. The Mighty -08 is no joke. P

Big Game. Previous Nosler data shows 52.0 grains as max. 51.5 gr gets me 3126 and great accuracy, 22.4” barrel.

Big Game, you heathens.

I have 7mm 160 Accubonds coming out my ears. Ha!

.223, three rifles, two loads. 7mm-08, three rifles, two loads 7mm Rem Mag, two rifles, two loads .30-06, five rifles, three loads 6.5 PRC, one rifle, one load I try to keep it simple.

Find some Big Game. Use WLR or WLRM.

That’s what I use. Easy peasy. P

“Sometimes the jumps are as much as .0010 sometimes as small .0001.” Zero point zero zero one? I don’t find that significant. Granted, I don’t shoot past 600 yards, but 0.001” to me is nothing. Differences in shooting form will have more impact on precision than 0.001” variation in seating...

140s will do it too. Partition Accubond Find what your rifle shoots best then poke them in the lungs. They won’t go far. Both of these bulls took one bullet apiece. The 4x4 went straight down, the big 5 went 90 feet. P
